• Google Sheets API pricing after the limit

  Can you tell me how an app like https://sheetdb.io/? An app like that must send thousands of requests every minute. Source: over 2 years ago

• I want to practice forms in html

  What I would do is to use 'no code' methods here and some services like this https://sheetdb.io/ that connects me to google sheet. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Trying to use the Google Sheets API by following instructions in "How to Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", but the instructions in the book don't match the what I see on the website. How do I generate an OAuth client ID?

  Good for you! I've actually read :) And for the future, you may get rid of the OAuth problems by using a third-party API. I recommend sheetdb.io. Here's a piece I wrote on this, you might find interesting: https://blog.sheetdb.io/google-spreadsheet-api-without-oauth-2-0-ffd572a06757. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Letting anyone use a script I wrote that has an API calls?

  Try using sheetdb.io - this app will handle your credentials in the background whereas you'll only need to disclose an endpoint in your script with an API key, but it's only to the particular spreadsheet to which you can set permission READ only, if you don't want to let others make any changes there.

• Transferring data from Excel sheet onto different webpages on website

  There are many ways to do this these days. One way being uploading said file into google sheet, then use a service like https://sheetdb.io/ or https://sheety.co/ to turn it into an API. Boom, consumable REST API in seconds. Source: about 3 years ago

• Growing a side-project to 100k Unique Visitors in one week

  For the backend, I opted for Airtable as a database. It's a simple, no-code solution that I've used before. It's not the most powerful database, but it's perfect for a project like this. I could easily add, edit, and delete records, and it has an embeddable form functionality that I used for user submissions. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  Airtable.com — Looks like a spreadsheet, but it's a relational database unlimited bases, 1,200 rows/base, and 1,000 API requests/month. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• How to generate links to a record to view it in an Interface?

  The ?XXXXX part of the URL identifies the type of interface page it is. Just copy that and then your formula is just "https://airtable.com.../...?XXXXXX=" & RECORD_ID() I'm not sure it works in every type of interface page (where you've started from a blank page for example). There has to be something to identify the record viewed from the page, if you see what I mean. Source: 8 months ago

• Working on a personal app for data tracking. looking for suggestions

  So I started building something on airtable.com that would allow me to easily track updates for each batch. What in your experience would make sense to track that I may be missing? Source: 9 months ago
